Interested in helping addicts? Keen to learn about counselling?
Then this would be an excellent course for you. It covers
everything from an exploration of addiction to understanding the
different types of addiction like drink, drugs, gambling, shopping
and sex. It also covers diagnosis, medication and legislation. This
course will be particularly valuable to anyone working in or
planning to work in addiction counselling.

This is an excellent course if you are considering a career as
an Addiction Counselor. Addiction affects hundreds and thousands of
people and there is a national shortage of trained therapists to
assist them. This course will give you an understanding of
addiction and our Counselling and Psychotherapy or CBT course would
be a great follow on.

At UK Open Learning we pride ourselves on our friendly and
supportive tutors. Your tutor support will start as soon as you
receive your course and will be valid for 12 months. All our tutors
are highly qualified with extensive experience in supporting
distance learning students. You contact your tutor via email and
they are responsible for marking assignments answering your
questions and guiding you through the course to ensure you are
ready for your examinations.

There are no entry requirements.

We recommend you spend approximately 110 hours of your time
studying for the Addiction Counselling Award. The pace of study is
completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 2 hours a
week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you
could spare 4 hours a week you could complete it in six months.

Once all ten modules have been studied and you are satisfied
that your learning is complete, you can request the final
examination paper together which you also complete at home like
your previous Assignments. After completion, the final examination
paper can be submitted to Jigsaw Counselling + Consultancy services
(training section) for marking. On successfully completion of the
Exam you will be awarded your certificate.

The programme is home or work-based enabling students to
complete the programme without having to attend scheduled college
teaching sessions. At the end of each module you will have the
opportunity to evaluate your newfound knowledge through a test
questionnaire that you complete at home. There is no need to return
the test questionnaires, however, if you experience any
difficulties or require further assistance, your allocated tutor at
Jigsaw will answer any questions you may have regarding the
Programme.
